Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Donut Bread

  3. Cream the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg with melted unsalted butter until well incorporated.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture alternating with the whole milk, mixing just until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping, mix with melted butter, and sprinkle over the batter.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
